I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 140 Entrust the Most Dangerous Place to Me
"The power of ultimate Yang"

Su Yuan walked to the city wall and looked down at the bustling Zhuque Street below.

"It's ultimately just a virtual world."

The shattered void world is almost indistinguishable from reality, even simulating and replicating the numerous cosmic forces in the starry sky.

However, after Su Yuan entered the intermediate realm of Starry Sky Life, he still discovered the differences between the Shattered Void World and reality.

That is the game world, which contains neither the power of extreme yang nor the power of extreme yin.

In reality, Su Yuan, with the help of extreme Yin and extreme Yang power, could vaguely sense the vast and boundless Yin and Yang that covered any level of the universe.

But in the shattered void world? It was empty, with only various cosmic forces permeating it, but there were no forces like the ultimate yang or ultimate yin that were close to rules and order.

It's all show and no substance.

"Indeed, what kind of existence is the power of extreme yang and extreme yin? It is the rule, the order, which is basically impossible to replicate."

Su Yuan thought to himself silently.

Even those cosmic sages who have comprehended the ultimate yang and yin can at most construct the ultimate yang and yin within their own inner world and transfer it to the game world for trillions of players to comprehend.
The cost is too high; it's tantamount to creating a real universe.

Su Yuan had long known through the gray mirror that the power of ultimate yang and ultimate yin could not be comprehended in the shattered void world.

The original definition of the Shattered Void World was to promote the evolution of planetary life, primordial star life, and intermediate star life.

Everything in this world is only useful to life forms in the Middle Realm and below.

As for the life forms in the later-stage star realm, or even stellar life forms, their life evolution cannot be driven by the shattered void world.

Furthermore, in order to maintain game balance, once the beings from the later-stage starry sky arrive in the game, they will be subject to numerous restrictions, and will not even be able to make a move.

As for stellar life? The same applies; they cannot act within the world.

"Although I am currently only a level 20 life form, just entering the intermediate stage, I have already comprehended the power of extreme Yin and extreme Yang. Extreme Yin and extreme Yang are two mutually generating and restraining cosmic forces that can form a stable Yin-Yang cycle."

Su Yuan's thoughts wandered.

For a mid-level star system to advance to the late-level star system, it needs to accumulate energy and reach the limit of a level 29 life form.

More importantly, it is necessary to establish a stable cycle of cosmic forces.

In a sense, Su Yuan has already achieved the latter. The cycle formed by extreme Yang power and extreme Yin power is extremely stable and is one of the perfect cycles that corresponds to the cycle of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"A cycle built solely on Yin and Yang, even if incredibly stable, is still far too simplistic."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

This is also the answer given by the gray mirror: to enter the realm of interstellar life in the most perfect form and to rush into the realm of stellar life.

In addition to the power of Yin and Yang, the power of the Five Elements is also needed as an auxiliary force.

Based on Yin and Yang, and supplemented by the Five Elements, a grand cycle of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements is constructed. This is the perfect cycle that is most suitable for Su Yuan.

The great cycle of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements will also be extremely important for Su Yuan in his later transition to stellar life and the opening of his inner world.

"The power of the Five Elements"

Su Yuan pondered in his heart that the power of the five elements were five kinds of cosmic power, namely the five major cosmic powers of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

In terms of the difficulty of comprehending, no one of the Five Elements powers is as difficult as the extreme Yang or extreme Yin powers.

But there are too many of them.

For the vast majority of mid-level star creatures, comprehending the five cosmic powers is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Not every cosmic being can quickly comprehend a certain cosmic force.

Some beings in the middle realm of the starry sky, after comprehending the power of metal and wood, make extremely slow progress in comprehending the remaining three elements.

This is why, even though they know that the power of the five elements can form a stable and perfect cycle, very few mid-level star creatures choose to comprehend these five cosmic powers.

The difficulty is too great. The lifespan of interstellar life is only 300,000 years, and the lifespan of interstellar life in the middle realm is only between 100,000 and 200,000 years.

In such a short time, is it possible to comprehend all five cosmic forces? The vast majority of mid-level star creatures choose to comprehend one or two elements first, and then choose to study the cosmic forces beyond the five elements, which are easier to comprehend.

Even if a perfect cycle of cosmic power cannot be formed, at least one can strive to reach the later stages before the end of their lifespan.

"For me, comprehending the power of the five elements is not difficult."

Su Yuan thought to himself silently.

As a mid-level star-space being who cultivates the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method, Su Yuan's comprehension dimension has undergone multiple life transformations and leaps, and is no weaker than those top geniuses in the universe.

In addition, the gray mirror provides a method that suits him perfectly.

And after comprehending the ultimate Yin and Yang, the speed at which one can comprehend the power of the Five Elements is only a matter of a few months to half a year.

"The cultivation plan for the Starry Sky Life Intermediate Realm is still about one level every two months. It will take more than a year to go from level 20 to level 29."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

In the cultivation plan devised by the gray mirror, Su Yuan didn't need to take any detours or side paths. He was always on the right track, and his cultivation speed was naturally unbelievably fast.

Even if they encounter unavoidable bottlenecks and constraints, they are resolved before they are broken through, such as by comprehending the seven cosmic forces of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
Before reaching the limit of the 29th level of the mid-stage starry sky life, Su Yuan must have already fully comprehended everything and would not delay his cultivation speed in the slightest.

"Guest Minister Wu".

Half a day later, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion arrived at Zhuque Street and also stopped by Su Yuan's place.

According to the observations of the late-stage star-space life form outside the capital, the super-grade ancestor deep within the palace has shown a shrinking trend in his aura over the past few days.

This is a sign of entering a deep level of spiritual practice.

Later-stage star-space beings cannot take action in the shattered void world, but they can observe. The information that can be obtained from observing later-stage star-space beings far exceeds that of middle-stage star-space beings.

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion paid a considerable price to invite this being from the post-realm starry sky to stay outside the capital for an extended period.

Upon receiving this news, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion immediately went to the place where many guest retainers were lying in ambush, intending to make a final 'morale boost'.

After all, this operation is related to his ability to advance to the later stages and to his improvement in status within the family.

We must be cautious.

"Pavilion Master."

Su Yuan greeted the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion with a smile.

"Ok?"

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion originally intended to give Su Yuan a few words of advice, but upon seeing Su Yuan, his expression changed slightly.

"You've broken through? You've entered the mid-stage Starry Sky Lifeform level?"

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion immediately asked.

It is very difficult for outsiders to discern the extent to which a being from the stars has comprehended the power of the universe.

Unless this cosmic being goes all out and actively reveals the means by which it comprehends the power of the universe.

However, if a cosmic being fully comprehends a certain cosmic power, even if it does nothing but stand there, it can automatically draw upon the cosmic power it has comprehended.

This is a natural instinct that arises after comprehending a certain cosmic power.

Unless deliberately concealed, Su Yuan currently has no need to hide himself.

"lucky."

Su Yuan said with a smile.

"Guest Wu, you're too modest." The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion rolled his eyes. To comprehend some kind of cosmic power and go from 0% to 100%—could that be just luck?

"I underestimated you, Guest Elder Wu." The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion gave Su Yuan a deep look.

In less than a year, Su Yuan has gone from the initial stage of Star Life to comprehending a certain cosmic power, and may have already entered the middle stage of Star Life.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed still cannot compare to those monstrous geniuses who directly skip the initial stage and enter the middle stage.

He can also be considered a top genius in the human empire of the universe.

Such top geniuses must have a powerful force behind them.

Without the support and guidance of powerful forces, this top genius could not have achieved such a rapid cultivation speed.

"Since you, Guest Elder Wu, have already broken through and are equivalent to a first-grade expert, the price you offer should naturally not be calculated based on that of a second-grade guest elder."

After pondering for a moment, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion said, "In that case, I will give Guest Elder Wu five more superior martial arts manuals. These are the 'Book Collection Tokens'."

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion flipped his right hand, and a token engraved with the number 'five' appeared in his hand.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

Su Yuan immediately said.

Although he already knew through the gray mirror that the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion would give him five more superior martial arts manuals after discovering his breakthrough.

But when the matter actually comes to pass, one naturally feels happy.

Five top-tier martial arts manuals are equivalent to 500 million Canglan coins.

"This is what you deserve."

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion said that he gave Su Yuan so much preferential treatment and care mainly because he wanted to build a friendship with him, after all, given the other party's cultivation speed.

It is almost inevitable that life will eventually enter the post-planetary realm, and there is even a great hope for stellar life.

"What does the Pavilion Master want me to do?"

Su Yuan asked.

Having received five superior martial arts manuals for nothing, Su Yuan was not ungrateful and naturally intended to do something for the Pavilion Master.

“You have just grasped the power of the universe, so focus on your own cultivation now. You don’t need to do anything for me.”

"This is what the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion said."

His care for Su Yuan was originally for the sake of future friendship. As for now? Even if Su Yuan makes a breakthrough and enters the first-grade realm, the action plan has already been arranged. Having another first-grade expert is not very meaningful.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion, Su Yuan has only initially comprehended a certain cosmic power. In reality, he may not have even entered the middle-level star life form. His mind and will have not undergone transformation, and his strength is probably lower than that of a normal first-grade.

"also."

Su Yuan nodded, then suddenly said, "Sect Master, once the operation begins, if you successfully obtain the Shattered-level martial arts manual, when you leave the palace, you can retreat in the direction of Vermilion Bird Avenue. I can hold off your pursuers."

The plan involves numerous second-rank experts attacking the palace from various directions. Taking advantage of the chaos in the palace, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion will lead several first-rank experts to infiltrate the palace.

However, the place where the shattered martial arts manual was placed was a key location in the royal palace, where even top-tier experts like the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion could infiltrate.

However, to obtain that shattered martial arts manual, a fierce battle is inevitable.

Even if the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion successfully obtains the Broken-level martial arts manual, given the strength of the palace's defenses, he will still face pursuit and assassination by the pursuers.

At this point, stopping the pursuers and making a successful retreat becomes extremely important.

The Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion specifically dispatched some second-rank guest elders to ambush the Qinglong Street, Xuanwu Street, Zhuque Street, and Baihu Street, with the aim of intercepting the pursuers.

The four main streets connect the four city gates of the capital.

At the four city gates, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion had also set up interception measures.

"Row."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion nodded slightly.

The interception experts of the four major streets were originally second-rank guest elders.

Now that Su Yuan has made a breakthrough, even if his strength is lower than that of a normal first-rank, it is still far superior to that of other second-rank guest elders.

If he could choose the direction of evacuation, he would definitely choose Suzaku Street.

However, the palace was fraught with danger, and the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion did not know where they would end up when they escaped from the palace. They could only try to prioritize evacuating towards Zhuque Street.

"Ah."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

The master of Canglan Pavilion did not know which direction he escaped from the palace in the end.

However, Su Yuan knew this, which is why he gave this reminder.

However, thanks to Su Yuan's reminder, the future of the Canglan Pavilion Master has changed, and he will take the initiative to evacuate towards the Vermilion Bird Street where Su Yuan is located.

Afterwards, the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion chatted with Su Yuan for a few more minutes before getting up and leaving.

Su Yuan's breakthrough certainly shocked the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion, but the most important thing right now is the operation to infiltrate the palace.

I watched the Pavilion Master of Canglan Pavilion leave.

Su Yuan summoned Mad Saber Qin Mo and instructed him to take the 'Book Collection Token' to the Canglan Pavilion's library to exchange for five superior martial arts manuals.

These five superior martial arts manuals represent the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They can greatly enhance Su Yuan's understanding of the power of the five elements.

After half an hour.

Mad Blade Qin Mo returned with five superior martial arts manuals.

"Ah."

Su Yuan placed the five superior martial arts manuals in front of him.

He then began to study the metal element from the Five Elements theory.

"Metal, one of the five elements, is resilient and indestructible."

In just one hour, Su Yuan finished comprehending the first superior martial arts manual.

Then came the second and third books.
Five hours later.

He read through all five superior martial arts manuals.

Su Yuan's speed in comprehending these five superior martial arts manuals far exceeded his previous speed in comprehending superior martial arts manuals with Yin and Yang attributes.

One reason for this is that Su Yuan had already grasped the essence of Yin and Yang, so when he went on to comprehend the Five Elements, his understanding was far more comprehensive and naturally easier.

Furthermore, the power of the Five Elements is inherently easier to comprehend than the power of Yin and Yang.

Finally, these five martial arts manuals were a perfect match for Su Yuan. There were as many as one or two hundred superior martial arts manuals in the Canglan Pavilion library, of which more than seventy belonged to the five elements.

Why did Su Yuan choose these five books? It was because these five martial arts manuals were easier and more accessible to understand, and they also provided a greater boost to one's comprehension of the Five Elements.

New-stage life forms need to comprehend the power of the universe, and while innate talent is important for comprehending this power, external resources are equally crucial.

Taking the superior martial arts manuals of the shattered void world as an example, as long as there are enough superior martial arts manuals with the five elements attributes, even the most foolish initial-stage star-sky life form can theoretically possess the power of the five elements attributes.

Then, the five elements cycle is constructed, and one enters the middle realm of star life stage.

However, the cost of doing so is too high, requiring at least several hundred superior martial arts manuals with the five elements attributes.

Hundreds of superior martial arts manuals are equivalent to tens of billions of Canglan coins, which is an astronomical price for a life form in the initial stage of the starry sky.
